Hair and Nail Vitamins – Be Amazing!

Ironically enough, even though hair and nails are, in essence, dead cells, few things will show how vibrant and ALIVE you are than shiny, healthy hair and nails! And nothing will preserve and enhance the integrity of your hair and nails like vitamins and other nutritional components. When the right nutrition is present, you will sparkle. You will be amazing!

The most important hair and nail vitamins to consider are those which contain collagen, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and natural, healthy oils.

For your hair, you want lots of A, B, C, and E vitamins.
Vitamin A produces healthy sebum, an oily substance secreted by the sebaceous glands in mammalian skin, giving us smooth, waterproof skin and hair.
B Vitamins, namely B6 and B12 help to prevent graying and hair loss.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, destroying free radicals that would otherwise wreak havoc on your skin and hair, making way for perfect, natural growth and vibrant appearance.
Vitamin E provides additional antioxidant support and improves overall scalp circulation.Other important hair nutrients are: Biotin, Niacin, and Inositol, among others.

Now let’s discuss the “nail” portion of “hair and nail vitamins.” It would be fair to say that healthy nails are a direct reflection of healthy skin. Again, vitamin E and other antioxidants are your champions, as are essential fatty acids, calcium, healthy oils, and magnesium.

In all reality, the bulk of your best hair and nail vitamins and minerals can be obtained through food consumption. Raw seeds and nuts provide calcium, oils, and high quality proteins. Antioxidants, including E and C vitamins are plentiful in citrus fruits and berries. Red grapes are antioxidant powerhouses! So are tomatoes. Fresh, cold-water fish, namely salmon will work wonders on your skin, hair, and nails.

Perhaps the most amazing food discovery in decades is the acai berry from the Amazonian rainforest. It is actually reported to have up to 33 times the antioxidant power of red grapes, ample amounts of beneficial fatty acids (aminos 3, 6, and 9), and metabolism enhancers which help you burn fat and regain a youthful appearance.

In addition to hair and nail vitamins, ample hydration is absolutely critical. If you can take down four to six liters of purified water on a daily basis, you will be blessed with radiant, glowing skin, hair, and nails. This will also flush dangerous toxins out of your body and dramatically improve your overall health.

While this dietary information is sound, the reality is that most of us will never eat the way that’s been described here. If you do, you will be blessed. You will be amazing! But whether you do or do not regularly consume all of the foods high in hair and nail vitamins, one thing that can change your life in a major way is supplementation.
